Are you kidding me? They've had compact auto-glass hammers that include seatbelt shears out on the market for awhile. Seriously, you just need a lightsaber and pillow for any situation. A brick?

Do we really need all these? I suppose unless we are McGiver who so easily gets out of being buried in a mountain of mud with just a pen knife, we may need a lot more that your list. We also need great calmness of mind, which is not easy to have. Incidentally, the Thais who get stuck for hours in their insane traffic jams often pack something else. Just in case nature calls. Yikes!

I once saw a special on TV about how to survive if your car was in water and the windows wouldn't open. Provided you didn't have a handy window pucturer tool (they sell these!) or a brick, you just calmly wait for it to completely sink so the pressure is equalized. Then open the door and swim out. Yeah, calmly. It's a dangerous world out there. You'll never get out alive. Eeeek!

I am just trying to say this place is freaking insane. SoCal you definitely need gas masks because it smells like Cow and other chemicals all the time. no I don’t have all of these things, but I always wanted a brick.
